A Letter from the Chairs
Steve Cooper & Alice Lawson
It does not seem like nine months since we last
wrote to you all in PR1, but then, as they say,
“time flies as you’re having fun”, and the last nine
months have been fun. We now find ourselves the
sitting Worldcon, looking back at all that has been
achieved, and looking forward to all the wonders
we hope to bring you. We will begin to outline
many of those in this PR.
PR2 also tells you everything you need to know
about our hotel booking system, and how you can
start making those necessary hotel bookings from
2 January, both online and over the phone.

Iain M Banks
Steve Cooper and Alice Lawson
As you’re probably aware, Iain M Banks, one of
our Guests of Honour, died on 9 June this year.
He was only 59. Our first progress report had
been issued in March and had included David
Haddock’s article on Iain M Banks’ London.
The news of Iain’s illness came shortly after that
progress report was produced. He contacted us
after he received his diagnosis to say that he felt he
had to withdraw from the convention along with
his other public engagements. We said that, if he
was willing, we would still wish to honour him
and his contribution to the genre and community
of science fiction at Loncon 3; we were pleased
that he was happy with this.
his first appearance at a science fiction convention
in 1986. We read his novels, both his science
fiction and his mainstream works, and we knew
him as a vibrant and enthusiastic member of our
community. He will, of course, be sorely missed.

us there was never a question of doing anything
else. His work will be featured in our programme,
in our exhibits and in our publications, alongside
that of our other guests. We firmly believe that
being chosen as a Worldcon Guest of Honour is a
significant recognition of a person’s commitment
and contribution, and that the list of those who’ve

John Clute
Now that it’s less than a year until the long
gestation ends, and the long weekend has come
and gone like a tsunami bringing gifts, and we are
all Light in August -- it’s now I’m really beginning
to feel the swell of something coming down the
track. This is half the fun. We all went to World Fantasy Con in Toronto
last October. Judith and I, who had not traveled
to Toronto together since well before my mother
died in 2009, arrived early, retraced the tracks

months after I got there in 1964 to find her. What

of September) we’re at 4,165,000 and counting.
Have myself done slightly more than 5,000 solo
entries, slightly less than 1,850,000 words. The
Picture Gallery is above 7,000 images. David
Langford has for his part shaped every word
for the new medium: he makes it all work, and
shapes the substance too. The book as a whole is
necessarily transgressing into regions far beyond
the remit of the second edition (1993), and into
an entire universe beyond the first (1979). Next
year I’d like to do a panel or something similar
on what it all means to help crew this ship-sized
catamaran into the future.

Chris Foss: An Appreciation
Yvonne Rowse
Chris Foss is a name that I have recognised for
years. There was a time that whenever I bought a
new SF book (frequently) I just assumed the cover
was by Chris Foss. Usually it was.
I came into fandom pretty late, not long before I
turned forty, in the late 1990s and for some years
I wasn’t really aware of the Art Show. It’s only in
the last ten years that I’ve gone looking and then
buying, and so there are no Chris Foss prints on
my walls.
for a Jim Burns painting. I love my SF art and
would like more; however, there is competition
in my house for wall space. Should I display the
spines of books or the artwork that graces their
covers? Pictures or books on walls? Hmm.
When I was asked to act as Guest of Honour liaison
for Chris I went out and bought Hardware, mainly
so that I could know which picture publications or
exhibitions were begging the use of. I spent a long
time looking through it, and that was the point
Mostly I have Dave Hardy prints, some John Harris, where I realised just how much Chris Foss artwork

All my E. E. “Doc” Smith (I can’t read them
anymore but I can’t bear to get rid), all my Asimov,
my Van Vogt (Slan!), all my James Blish, much of
my (admittedly sparse) Philip K Dick collection,
three books that Ben Bova edited, Le Guin’s City
of Illusions, M. John Harrison’s The Machine in
Shaft Ten, all my Edmund Cooper books!
I had, at one time, the Hitchhiker’s books with the
Foss covers but they were permanently borrowed
some time ago. Just looking through the cover
gallery at the back of Hardware fills me with
happy nostalgia. So much fabulous artwork,
so redolent of optimism in technology and my
teenage confidence in the future. When we were
going to get out there. Personally. Not living in
an old fashioned terrace in Sheffield with paper
books on the walls.
Art: Marvano
So, having looked avariciously through Hardware I
have a plan. I still have a bit of wall and a little
while to save up, and I will be buying a large print
of that lovely Cities in Flight picture that was used
as a postcard to remind people to upgrade their
membership to attending.

Jeanne Gomoll
My mother died in early September, four weeks
after a minor heart attack. Although she recovered
easily after a stent was installed in an aorta, other
organs began failing soon afterward. At 85 years
of age, she didn’t have enough strength to fight
battles on several fronts simultaneously. So my
brothers, sister and I rearranged our lives and for
that month divided up “mom watches” among
ourselves, sitting with Mom as she fought a losing
battle to get better and return home.
One afternoon I was sitting in Mom’s room in
Waukesha Memorial Hospital’s ICU. At this point
Mom wasn’t able to talk much. A stroke had
reduced her available vocabulary to one or two
words at a time, spoken with difficulty. Mostly
she just nodded or shook her head. I was reading
next to her bed when a technician wheeled in a
very cool-looking machine that might easily have
fit onto Buck Rogers’ spaceship’s dashboard. Very
retro. Anyway, my attention was captured, and I
watched as the technician attached a breathing
mask over my mother’s mouth and nose, and
pushed a button on the control panel. Steam
began billowing out from the mask.
“So,” I asked, “What’s making the steam? Cool air
or warm?”
The technician -- let’s call him Elmer -- looked up
at me, and said slowly, carefully, “It’s PNEU-MATIC.”
“OK. But the steam…” I began.
Elmer sighed and said even more slowly,
emphasizing each syllable and pitching his voice
as if he were speaking to a child. “It’s PNEU-MATIC. It works like the machine your husband keeps
in the trunk and uses to pump air into a tire!” (Just
for the record, Elmer and I had never met before. I can’t tell you how or if Elmer reacted because
He knew nothing about me.)
I was looking down into Mom’s eyes. When she
saw me focusing on her, Mom very deliberately

mansplaining idiot technician.
I glared at him.

“Well, it has to do with the phenomenon of
sharkasianism.” Elmer may not have said exactly
that word, but I am sure he invented it, and in
the moment, I wondered if he’d been watching
Game of Thrones. Then he continued his lesson
with hand motions: “You see, when atoms get
very close to each other, they tend to repel one
another.” Elmer held two fists close together and
then bounced them apart.
Soon afterward, the doctors let us know that there
was nothing more they could do; that it was time
to simply treat her pain and make her comfortable.
And so, with her agreement, we moved her to
hospice, where she died a few days later. My
siblings and I reported everything to one another
that happened in the hospital and hospice during
those last weeks, but it was the moments in which
her personality and sharp sense of humor showed

in my own memory of these last difficult days.
Robin Hobb
This is probably the biggest news of the last six
months of my life. The irony is that to me, it isn’t
news at all.
In 2002, I wrote these words: “It is like the
anticipation that a clever minstrel evokes when he
pauses, letting silence pool before sweeping into
the final refrain of the song. Sometimes a gap can
be seen like a promise yet to be fulfilled.” That was
close to the end of Fool’s Fate, the final volume in
The Tawny Man Trilogy.
I knew then that I needed a break before I went on
with that tale. I never thought that gap would be
eleven years. I knew, when I wrote those words,
that there was one more trilogy to write, one that
would bring the threads together, sweep away the
final cobwebs to reveal the secrets and cap off the
tales of the Fitz and the Fool. I knew where my
characters would take it and at that time I believed
my readers would be happy to be carried along.

The reasons for all the delay are many and various
and probably make sense only to me. I will only
say here that as I write this, the manuscript for
The Fitz and the Fool Trilogy, book one, The Fool’s
Assassin, is with the publishers. I wrote it in fits
and starts, with many doubts. I put things in. I
took them out. It took more than a year to write.
It has already been through three intense rewrites.
The question I wrestled with at the first half of the
project was one that had plagued me for years.
Who did the story belong to? Where did the
obligation lie? Is there an unspoken contract that
the writer will deliver what the readers expect?
Who did I write for? The readers? Myself? An
idealized reader I’d never met?

of running his own judo dojo. Oak Tree Dojo,
after much painting, mowing, shoveling, and
many frustrating visits to the Planning and Zoning
folks, finally opened in April of 2013. Four of our
students (I use the word ‘our’ loosely -- I mow the
lawns) recently placed well in the Rainier Cup,
our local judo tournament. I foresee only more
success there.
And I gardened. My keyboard is the tool I use
for typing. The tools I use for writing are more
often a shovel, a rake, a hoe, and some hand
tools. Through the years, I’ve found that the time
spent typing is far less than the time spent trying to
decide how the dialogue should go while seeding
a row of radishes, or hoeing potatoes, or picking
bugs off the spinach.
The answer I settled on was that my obligation was
to my characters. They had to do what they would
do, given the circumstances of the tale. I couldn’t
change where the current of Story was carrying
them. They were well and truly into it now, being
swept along toward the inevitable, and all I could
do as a writer was to faithfully document it. Once
I accepted that, then the book began to unfold. It We have a bit of acreage, scarcely enough to

The months since the last progress report have
sped by in a blur as I seem to be getting increasing
busy. After Dotter of Her Father’s Eyes won the
Costa Biography Award at the end of January,
practically all of February was eaten up doing
promotion for the book with a series of signings
and seemingly endless newspaper, radio, and
television interviews. Since then, I’ve attended at
least one literary festival, academic conference,
steampunk convention, or comic event every
month, including the Etna Comic Con in Sicily
and the Edinburgh Book Festival (which, this year,
had a very strong graphic novel theme). Sorely
missed there was Iain Banks, whose passing cast
a gloom over the year though, at his memorial
gathering in Stirling, his last wishes involved us all
singing “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life”
and listening to the Muppet’s “Mahna Manha”
song!
At home, I’ve been working seven days a week
up to twelve hours a day. Mary and I have now
finished work on her next book, Sally Heathcote:
Suffragette. She wrote the script, I did the lettering
and detailed layouts, and Kate Charlesworth
produced the stunning finished artwork. It’s to
be published by Jonathan Cape next May. I’m
well over halfway through the pencils and inks
of Grandville Nöel, the fourth in my series of
steampunk detective thrillers. I’ve produced two
pages for Ravi Thorton’s next graphic novel, Hoax,
done the cover and introduction to Brighton – The
Graphic Novel, written and drawn a two-pager
for The Author magazine, and drawn this year’s
official Christmas card for the Sherlock Holmes
Society of London.
I’ve also been involved with preparations for the
very first European-style comics art festival in the
UK, which takes place in Kendal, Cumbria, 18 – 20
October, including the setting up of my exhibition
at the Wildman Gallery, which runs from October
4th to November 10. In addition, I’ve foolishly
accepted a commission from Sunderland City
Council to design a “pavement graphic” for the
new city square. It’s to be 230 metres long and
sandblasted into granite. In the last report I
mentioned that I was scripting a heroic fantasy
webcomic and looking for a suitable artist to draw
it. I still haven’t found one!

Retro Hugos
Dave McCarty
1939 was an auspicious year among science fiction
enthusiasts. On 2 July roughly 200 of them got
together in New York City to hold the World Science
Fiction Convention. The convention was hosted at
Caravan Hall on East 59th Street in Manhattan and
the initiation of the event was at least partly due
to its slightly larger cousin, the 1939-1940 World’s
Fair being held in Queens.
While it was conceived as a one-time event, it
triggered another convention the following year
in Chicago, then one in Denver, and that started
a tradition that carries through to this day. While
the intervening years have changed the scale of the
event and sent it all over the globe, the scope is still
the same today as it was 74 years ago... to allow
a community to gather together to celebrate their
shared love of science fiction and fantasy.
Part of the tradition of that celebration now is the
awarding of the Hugos, to recognise the best in
science fiction, fantasy, and fandom from the prior
year. From their inception in 1953, the Hugo Awards
have grown to be the most prestigious awards in
the genre. As host of the 2014 event, Loncon 3
will be hosting the Hugo Awards for the best work
in 2013. As this also marks the 75th anniversary
of that first convention in 1939, Loncon 3 will be
hosting a Retro Hugo Award process for the best
work of 1938.
The Retro Hugos will use the same rules and
categories as the current awards. There will be
parallel nominating and voting processes. The
eligibility for nomination and voting is identical – if
you can nominate or vote for the 2014 awards, you
can nominate or vote for the 1939 awards. If you’re
not comfortable joining in, that’s perfectly fine; you
don’t need to participate in the 1939 process to
have your 2014 nominations/votes counted (and
vice versa, should you feel so inclined).
While you may have a slight and very reasonable
concern that you’re not aware of the eligible works
for 1938, you can read articles on our website that
provide a sampling of the eligible people/works for
the year. Please, enjoy the guides we’ve prepared
and we look forward to your assistance in helping
us celebrate the best in our field for the year that
started it all.
Artist Showcase
Loncon 3 will be producing a full-colour printed
Artist Showcase featuring biographies and artworks
from the artists participating in the Loncon 3 Art
Show. The Artist Showcase will be a limited edition
commemorative publication, with a maximum
print run of no more than 1,000 copies. It will be
edited by Colin Harris and Sara Felix, who also
produced the corresponding publications for
Renovation and Chicon 7. The Showcase will have
a minimum of 64 pages; however, in the tradition
of Kickstarter, we have a stretch goal to increase
the page count if sufficient copies are pre-sold.
the biggest and best display of genre art ever seen
in the UK – and this is a chance for all art fans to
have one of these special souvenirs. Orders are
being taken on a first-come, first-served basis, so
why not reserve your copy now? You’ll also be
helping us reach that stretch goal so we can add
more pages!
Copies of the showcase cost just £5 for Loncon

count unsigned ballots.
• You may nominate up to five persons or works in each category. However, you are permitted (and
even encouraged) to make fewer nominations or none at all if you are not familiar with the works that
fall into that category. The nominations are equally weighted: the order in which you list them has no

to include that choice on the nomination form.
• If your nominee is not well known, please provide a source where his or her 1938 work in that

us.

are eligible in the year in which the last instalment appears.
Extended Eligibility for non-US published works:
Works initially published outside the United States prior to
1938 are not granted extended eligibility for the Retro Hugo Awards.

contained in the WSFS constitution available at www.loncon3.org/wsfs-constitution.php.

participation or proxy voting at the
Business Meeting.
Section 6.4: Tallying of Votes. Votes
shall first be tallied by the voter’s
first choices. If no majority is then
obtained, the candidate who places
last in the initial tallying shall be
eliminated and the ballots listing it
as first choice shall be redistributed
on the basis of those ballots’
second choices. This process shall
be repeated until a majority-vote
winner is obtained. If two or more
candidates are tied for elimination
during this process, the candidate
that received fewer first-place votes
shall be eliminated. If they are still
tied, all the tied candidates shall be
eliminated together.
Section 6.5: Run-off. After a tentative
winner is determined, then unless
the run-off candidate shall be the
sole winner, the following additional
test shall be made. If the number
of ballots preferring the run-off
candidate to the tentative winner is
greater than the number of ballots
preferring the tentative winner to
the run-off candidate, then the runoff candidate shall be declared the
winner of the election.
Section 6.6: Amendment. The WSFS
Constitution may be amended by a
motion passed by a simple majority
at any Business Meeting but only
to the extent that such motion is
ratified by a simple majority at the
Business Meeting of the subsequent
Worldcon.
Section
6.7:
Commencement.
Any change to the Constitution of
WSFS shall take effect at the end
of the Worldcon at which such
change is ratified, except that no
change imposing additional costs or
financial obligations upon Worldcon
Committees shall be binding upon
any Committee already selected at
the time when it takes effect.

Governance of the WSFS
Business Meeting
Group 1: Meetings
Rule 1.1: Meeting and Session.
The Annual Meeting of the World
Science Fiction Society shall consist
of one or more Preliminary Business
Meetings and one or more Main

Business Meeting. All meetings at
a Worldcon (preliminary, main, or

single “session” as defined in the
Parliamentary Authority (see section
5.1 of the WSFS Constitution),
regardless of whether such gatherings
are called “meetings” or “sessions.”
Rule 1.2: Preliminary Business

Meeting may not directly reject,
pass, or ratify amendments to the
Constitution; however, all motions
adhering

Constitutional
amendment are in order if otherwise
allowed. The Preliminary Business
Meeting may not refer a Constitutional
amendment to a committee unless
the committee’s instructions are to
report to the Main Business Meeting.
The Preliminary Business Meeting
may not postpone consideration
of a Constitutional amendment
beyond
the
last
Preliminary
Business Meeting. The Preliminary
Business Meeting may not amend a

Meeting may consider any business
not expressly forbidden to it by the
Standing Rules or expressly reserved
to the Main Business Meeting.
Rule 1.3: Main Business Meeting(s).

Preliminary Meeting. No meeting
shall be scheduled to begin before

allowed in the place where the
Business Meeting is held, the
Presiding Officer shall divide the
room into smoking and non-smoking
sections at the beginning of each
meeting.
Rule 1.6: Recording of Sessions.
The Presiding Officer may arrange
for the recording of meetings in any
medium and for the distribution of
such recordings. Individual members
may also record meetings at their
own discretion, subject to the will of
the assembly as authorized by rule
5.9.
Group 2: New Business
Rule 2.1: Deadline for Submission
of New Business. The deadline for
submission of non-privileged new
business to the Business Meeting shall
be fourteen (14) days before the first
Preliminary Meeting. The Presiding
Officer may accept otherwise
qualified motions submitted after the
deadline, but all such motions shall
be placed at the end of the agenda.
Rule
2.2:
Requirements
for
Submission of New Business. Two
hundred (200) identical, legible
copies of all proposals for nonprivileged new business shall be
submitted to the Presiding Officer
before the deadline in Rule 2.1
unless such proposals are distributed
to the attendees at the Worldcon
by the Worldcon Committee. All
proposals must be legibly signed by
a maker and at least one seconder.
Rule 2.3: Interpretation of Motions.
The Presiding Officer shall reject as
out of order any proposal or motion
that is obviously illegal or hopelessly
incoherent. In the absence of the
maker of a motion or instructions to
the contrary, the Presiding Officer
shall be free to interpret the meaning
of any motion.
Rule 2.4: Short Title. Any item of new
business considered by the Business
Meeting shall contain a short title.
Group 3: Debate Time Limits
Rule 3.1: Main Motions. The Presiding
Officer shall designate the default
debate time for main motions. The
Business Meeting may, by majority
vote, set the initial debate time limit
for any motion to any positive whole
number of minutes.
Rule 3.2: Allotment of Time. If a
question is divided, the time limits
applicable to the question before
it was divided shall apply to each
portion of the divided question.
Debate time shall be allotted equally
to each side of a question. Time spent
on points of order or other neutral
matters arising from a motion shall
be divided equally and charged to
each side.
Rule 3.3: Amendments. Debate on
all amendments to main motions
shall be limited to five (5) minutes,
allotted equally to each side. Time
spent on debate of an amendment
shall be charged against the time for
the main motion.
Rule 3.4: Motions Allowed After
Expiration. Motions that adhere to the
main motion shall not be out of order
because of the expiration of debate
time, but shall be undebatable.
Rule 3.5: Minimum Substantive
Debate. If the debate time expires
before either or both sides of the
question have had an opportunity
for substantive debate, any side that
has not had such an opportunity
shall have two (2) minutes to be used
solely for the purpose of substantive
debate.
Group 4: Official Papers
Rule 4.1: Indicating Revisions. The
Business Meeting staff shall clearly
19
20
indicate all changes (including
deletions) from the previous year’s
version when they provide the
Constitution and Standing Rules for
publication prior to the following
Worldcon. However, the failure
to indicate such changes shall not
affect the validity of the documents.
Rule
4.2:
Corrections.
Any
correction of fact to the Minutes or
to the Constitution or Standing Rules
as published should be brought to
the attention of the Secretary of the
Business Meeting in question and of
the next available Business Meeting
as soon as they are discovered.
Rule 4.3: Numbers, Titles, References,
and Technical Corrections. Numbers
and titles of the various parts of the
Constitution and Standing Rules
are for the sake of easy reference
only. They do not form a substantive
part of these documents nor of any
motion to amend these documents.
The Business Meeting Secretary shall
incorporate into these documents
appropriate changes as required
by newly adopted amendments.
When making any such adjustments
required by this section, the Business
Meeting Secretary shall change
article and section numbers, titles,
and internal cross-references as
necessary to maintain a consistent,
parallel structure, which shall not
be altered unless the Business
Meeting explicitly so directs. The
Business Meeting Secretary may
change punctuation, capitalization,
grammar, and other wording in the
Constitution and Standing Rules
only insofar as such changes clarify
meaning and enhance consistency,
and only insofar as such changes do
not modify the substantive meaning
of the documents.
Rule 4.4: Submission Deadlines:
Reports. All WSFS Committee
Reports and all Worldcon Annual
Financial Reports (see Constitution
Section 2.9.1) shall be submitted
to the Business Meeting by no later
than fourteen (14) days before the
first Preliminary Business Meeting.
Rule 4.5: Availability of BM Materials.
All WSFS Committee Reports,
Worldcon Annual Financial Reports,

Business Meeting before the 14-day

WSFS members (e.g. via publication
on the host Worldcon’s web site) by
no later than ten (10) days before the
first Preliminary Business Meeting.
Group 5: Variations of Rules
Rule 5.1: Nonstandard Parliamentary
Authority. If a Worldcon Committee
adopts for the governance of the
Business Meeting a parliamentary
authority other than that specified in
the Constitution, the Committee must
in timely fashion publish information
about how to obtain copies of the
authority in question.
Rule 5.2: Constitutional and Standing
Rule Amendments. Motions to
Amend the Constitution, to Ratify a
Constitutional Amendment, and to
Amend the Standing Rules shall be
considered ordinary main motions,
except as otherwise provided in the
Standing Rules or Constitution. An
object to consideration shall not
be in order against ratification of a
constitutional amendment.
Rule 5.3: Postpone Indefinitely. The
motion to Postpone Indefinitely shall
not be allowed.
Rule
5.4:
Amend;
Secondary
Amendments.
Secondary
amendments
(amendments
to
amendments) are not allowed except
when the primary amendment is to
substitute.
Rule 5.5: Previous Question. A
person speaking to a motion may not
immediately offer a motion to close
debate. The motion for the Previous
Question (also known as the motion
“close debate,” “call the question,”
and “vote now”) shall not be in order
when there is less than one minute
of debate time remaining, nor when
either or both sides of the debate
have yet to speak to a question.
Before voting on the motion for the
Previous Question, the Presiding
Officer shall, without debate, ask
for a show of hands of those persons
who still wish to speak to the matter
under consideration.
Rule 5.6: Lay on the Table. The
motion to Lay on the Table shall
require a two-thirds (2/3) vote for
adoption.
Rule
5.7:
Adjournment.
The
incidental main motion to adjourn
sine die shall not be in order until
all Special and General Orders have
been discharged.
Rule 5.8: Suspension of Rules. Rules
protecting the rights of absentees,
including this rule, may not be
suspended.
Rule 5.9: Start/Stop Recording. If
the meeting is being recorded, a

Recording is a privileged motion and
shall be handled in the same way as
a motion to Enter or Leave Executive
Session.
Group
6:
Mark
Protection
Committee Elections
Rule 6.1: Nominations. Nominations
for election to the Mark Protection
Committee shall be allowed from the
floor at each Preliminary Business
Meeting. To be listed on the ballot,
each nominee must submit to the
Secretary of the Business Meeting
the nominee’s consent to nomination
and the nominee’s current region
of residence. A nominee shall be
ineligible if the nominee could
not be elected due to the regional
residence restrictions. The deadline
for submitting such consent to
nomination shall be set by the
Secretary.
Rule 6.2: Elections. Elections to the
Mark Protection Committee shall
be a special order of business at a
designated Main Business Meeting.
Voting shall be by written preferential
ballot with write-in votes allowed.
Votes for write-in candidates who
do not submit written consent to
nomination and region of residence
to the Presiding Officer before the
close of balloting shall be ignored.
The ballot shall list each nominee’s
name and region of residence. The
first seat filled shall be by normal
preferential ballot procedures as
defined in Section 6.4 of the WSFS
Constitution. There shall be no runoff candidate. After a seat is filled,
votes for the elected member and for
any nominee who is now ineligible
due to regional residence restrictions
shall be eliminated before conducting
the next ballot. This procedure shall
continue until all seats are filled. In
the event of a first-place tie for any
seat, the tie shall be broken unless
all tied candidates can be elected
simultaneously. Should there be
any partial-term vacancies on the
committee, the partial-term seat(s)
shall be filled after the full-term seats
have been filled.
Group 7: Miscellaneous
Rule 7.1: Question Time. During
the Site-Selection Meeting, fifteen
(15) minutes of program time shall
be allocated to each future seated
Worldcon committee. During the
first five (5) minutes, each committee
may make such presentations as they
wish. The remaining time shall be
allocated for questions to be asked
about that committee’s Worldcon.
Questions may be submitted in
writing at any previous meeting.
Questions submitted in writing shall
have priority over other questions
if the person who submitted the
question is present and still wishes
to ask the question. No person may
ask a second question as long as any
person wishes to ask a first question.
Questions are limited to fifteen
(15) seconds and responses to two
(2) minutes. If time permits at the
Site- Selection Meeting, committees
bidding for the right to host any
Worldcon whose selection will
take place in the next calendar year
shall be allocated five (5) minutes
of program time to make such
presentations as they wish. The time
limits in this rule may be modified by
majority vote.
Rule 7.2: Dilatory Actions; Misuse
of Inquiries. The sole purpose
of a “point of information” or
“parliamentary inquiry” is to ask the
Presiding Officer for an opinion of
the effect of a motion or for guidance
as to the correct procedure to follow.
The Presiding Officer shall treat as
dilatory any attempts to circumvent
the rules of debate under the guise of
points of information, parliamentary
inquiries, or other queries and
requests.
Rule 7.3: Counted Vote. The
Presiding Officer shall take a counted
vote upon the request of ten percent
(10%) of those members attending
the meeting.
Rule 7.4: Carrying Business Forward.
Motions other than Constitutional

definitely or by being referred to a
committee.

Resolutions of continuing effect
(“continuing resolutions”) may be
repealed or amended by majority
vote
of
subsequent
Business
Meetings without notice, and shall be
automatically repealed or amended
by applicable amendments to the
Constitution or Standing Rules or
by conflicting resolutions passed by
subsequent Business Meetings.
Rule
7.6:
Committees.
All
committees are authorized to
organize themselves in any lawful
manner and to adopt rules for the
conduct of their business, which
may include conducting balloting
by mail and limiting debate, subject
to any contrary provisions of the
Constitution, the Standing Rules, or
instructions given to the committee
by the Business Meeting.
Rule 7.7: Nitpicking and Flyspecking
Committee. The Business Meeting
shall appoint a Nitpicking and
Flyspecking
Committee.
The
Committee shall: (1) Maintain the
list of Rulings and Resolutions of
Continuing Effect (2) Codify the
Customs and Usages of WSFS and of
the Business Meeting.
Rule 7.8: Worldcon Runners Guide
Editorial Committee. The Business
Meeting shall appoint a Worldcon
Runners Guide Editorial Committee.
The Committee shall maintain the
Worldcon Runners Guide, which
shall contain a compilation of the
best practices in use among those
who run Worldcons.

Access
Childcare
Loncon 3 is committed to an accessible Worldcon
that supports the varied needs of our members who
might need support, in order to enable everyone
to enjoy the convention to the full. The ExCeL
centre is a new venue which is compliant with the
Equality Act 2010, as are the neighbouring hotels.
ExCeL has been purposely designed and built to
allow unrestricted access to disabled visitors.
In addition to the children’s programme, we
are planning to provide childcare, and we are
currently in touch with a number of providers. We
hope to get the balance right between the most
appropriate service and the high cost of childcare
in London.
At Worldcon, an additional charge is usually made

Programme
Programme is organised into teams that cover
a wide variety of areas. These include comics,
gaming, science, literature, young adult,
costuming, cosplay and style, filk, music, TV, films,
and more. All of these areas have Area Heads who
have set up groups to contribute thoughts and
ideas and bounce ideas between them by email
and in person. (To see who is in charge of each
area, check the Committee and Staff list on our
website.)
We’re also encouraging people to volunteer to be
on the programme. We have over 150 people who
have offered to participate over the past year or so,
and we are hoping for many more. Ideas have also
been coming in, both from people who want to do
something and those who want to see something
happen.

to do. Furthermore, if you have seen people who
performed brilliantly or had a real insight into a
subject, please recommend them to us and we’ll
see if they are coming along.
In December, we will put our programme survey
online and potential participants will be asked to fill
it in. This is backed up by a super “sit up and make

team work together to plan the programme.

Cosplay and Masquerading
Costuming goes by lots of different names these
days and covers much more than just interpretations
of characters from books or reproductions of
movie costumes. Anime, gaming, and manga
are all having a huge impact on costuming at
conventions, and the increasingly common term
‘cosplay’ instead of ‘costuming’ reflects this.

Hotel Bookings
Hotel bookings will open soon, and this section
of the progress report should give you all the
information you need to choose and book a
hotel. Please read it carefully. If you have any
questions that aren’t answered here, you can
All of the events and hospitality for Loncon 3 will
take place in the ExCeL convention centre. We do
not currently plan to have any convention events
or programming in the hotels. We will therefore
not have a main or headquarters hotel, although
of course some hotels are closer to the convention
centre than others. Please note that we do not
have corkage waivers or party arrangements in
any hotel, therefore all open parties will take
place in the convention centre. We will have
more information on how to organize an open
party in the next few months. Please check our
website or send an email to [email protected]
for information on parties.
Please note that under UK law, smoking is not
permitted in any indoor public area of any hotel,
or in ExCeL London. Smoking is permitted in hotel
bedrooms that are designated as smoking rooms.
Hotel booking via our convention website will
open at 16:00 UK time (GMT) on 2 January 2014.
This will link to the hotel booking website, run for
us by our hotel agency, Infotel. If you would prefer
to make a booking by phone, you can call them
on +44 1775 843406 between 09:00 and 17:00
(UK time) on weekdays from 2 January on. Please
do not call this number before bookings open.
The earliest night for which the convention room
rates are available is Sunday 10 August, and the
last night is Wednesday 20 August (checking
out on Thursday 21 August). Please be aware
that availability of nights before and after the
convention varies from hotel to hotel. The Infotel
website will let you book almost any hotel in the
country, not just the convention hotels at which
we have block rates, so you can also use it for
accommodation further afield and before or after
the convention.
Distances marked with an asterisk, below, are on
the opposite side of ExCeL London to the Loncon

plenty may still change. We’ll have a small stage for
occasional musical and other performances (think
filk and liquid nitrogen). The teen yurt is the space
for teenagers, and the fan tents will be home to
various groups or conventions. We’ll have a lawn

games (no croquet, sadly), and boardgames in the
